1. What is LACRISOL and what is it used for
LACRISOL is a combination of two active ingredients: benzalkonium chloride and hypromellose. Benzalkonium chloride
is a quaternary ammonium compound with antiseptic properties with a disinfectant action that prevents the growth
of some types of bacteria and fungi. Hypromellose has emollient and lubricating properties, it hydrates the eyes.
This medicine is indicated for:
- disinfecting the mucous membrane of the eyes;
- hydrating dry eye in cases of poor hydration (insufficient tear secretion - dry eye syndrome).
Consult your doctor if you do not feel better or if you feel worse after a few days of treatment.
